2015 Iron Fork — The Official Miami Spice Kickoff Event

Miami New Times Iron Fork is Miami's most hotly anticipated culinary event. This year, on July 30th, we up the ante by partnering with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau to kick off two months of discounted three-course meals at Miami's best restaurants during Miami Spice. Planned for the beautiful Hyatt Regency in Downtown Miami, the 2015 Iron Fork will draw thousands of diners and food lovers from across Greater Miami. They'll watch two of our city's finest chefs go pot-to-pot in a sizzling showdown for supremacy overseen by famed "Mango Gang" veteran Allen Susser. Each competitor will receive a basket of foodstuffs — plus one secret ingredient — then create a tantalizing creation before a panel of local celebrity chefs hand selected by Chef Allen. The winner will receive the prestigious Iron Fork Award, signifying the area's top toque.

"We're thrilled to partner with Miami New Times on the Iron Fork event as we kick-off the fourteenth year of our wildly popular Miami Spice Restaurant promotion. Iron Fork is a fantastic event that will generate even more excitement and incentive to explore Miami's great restaurants and cuisine during the two months of the Miami Spice promotion."
